India is the third most popular country for sourcing foreign talent after China and the US, a survey by global recruiting firm Manpower Inc released Tuesday said.
The Borderless Workforce Survey conducted in 27 countries also showed India received the highest remittances ($27 billion) from nationals working abroad.
It is closely followed by China ($25.7 billion), Mexico ($25 billion) and the Philippines ($17 billion).
'The demand for Indian skilled labour is the highest in the US followed by the Gulf. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for engineers in the oil and gas sector and aviation,' said Manpower India managing director Naresh Malhan.
Others in demand are nurses, drivers and construction workers, he said.
The survey also ranked India third in the list of the top 10 countries considered an economic threat to other nations.
Of the 26 countries surveyed other than India, all countries with the exception of Costa Rica and Peru believe that India provides competitive threat to their own country's ability to compete economically.
So far as Indian employers are concerned, they consider China, the US and the UK as the biggest competitive threats.
According to the survey, Chinese employers - followed by those in India - were the least concerned about migration of talents to foreign countries.
In India, employers in public administration, education, services, finance, insurance, real estate and manufacturing are most concerned about this, while those in wholesale and retail, transport, utilities, mining, oil and gas sectors are the least bothered.
"While it's true that we need to do more to keep our most talented workers, we must also consider how we can strengthen our collective employer 'brand' to attract talented workers from overseas," said Malhan.
Some of the key findings of the survey:
. India is the third most popular country for sourcing foreign talent; 11 of the 26 countries surveyed other than India sourced foreign talent from India.
. India receives the highest remittances ($27 billion) from nationals working abroad, followed by China ($25.7 billion), Mexico ($25 billion) and the Philippines ($17 billion).
. India has the highest percentage of nationals working abroad with tertiary education. Of the nearly 2.2 millions of Indians working abroad, 53 percent have acquired tertiary education.
. India ranks third in the list of Top 10 countries believed to be an economic threat to other nations.
. Indian employers are second least concerned about government and businesses not doing enough to slow the outward migration of talent.

IIT Bombay appoints CEO to further its incubation cause
In a bid to increase private sector investment for its incubation projects, the country's premier engineering institute — Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay — has recruited an investment banker as Chief Executive Officer of the Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE), its incubation centre.
All the seven IITs have incubation centres but only IIT Delhi had a Managing Director so far to oversee its unit. Now it's the turn of IIT Bombay.
Sushanto Mitra, the newly-appointed CEO of SINE, has spent several years as an investment banker. His earlier stints include working at Techcap India and Meghraj Financial Services India. "We are looking at a plan that will institutionalise private sector investment into these companies," says Mitra. IIT-B Director Ashok Misra expects SINE to contribute Rs 4-5 crore to the institute's exchequer.
Currently, SINE's corpus has been contributed by IIT-B, the government of India and IIT alumni. With participation from the corporate world, SINE wants to increase this corpus to Rs 10 crore. This will then allow the centre to invest at least Rs 40 lakh for each firm. SINE invests Rs 10-12 lakh in each company currently.
The incubator is also expanding its portfolio from its current 17 companies to 50 over the next two or three years. Since its inception in 2004, 32 companies have incubated at IIT-B, of which just four have folded up. IIT-B's incubation model is equity-cum-royalty based.
The institute takes an 8 to 10 per cent stake in each of the firms that it incubates. Once the company gets funding, IIT-B liquidates part of its holding. In case of a product, once the company is formed the patent is then transferred to the name of the company. Each company is allowed to operate from SINE premises for three-years.
"So far we have been self-sufficient. IIT has created enough money to sustain SINE. While we do get Rs 10-30 lakh through the equity sale once in a while, I am hopeful that we will also have a firm that will make SINE earn in crores," said Misra.
Apart from primary funding of Rs 10-12 lakh, SINE provides incubating companies with subsidised infrastructure — at one-third the market price each firm gets a set-up of six PCs. IIT Delhi, too, has a managing director who oversees the institute's Technology Business Incubation Unit which was founded in 1998. The institute invests around Rs 15 lakh for an incubating IT firm and has a corpus of around Rs 2 crore. Students from the institute get most of their ventures funded through government programmes.
IIT Delhi picks up stakes of 5-10 per cent in the incubating companies and exits after five years. So far, around 19 companies have begun operations at IIT Delhi with another five in the offing. "The institute is looking at creating separate funds for separate ventures. For instance, IT projects will have separate funds for themselves," said a professor from IIT Delhi.

Indian students among the best, says Patten
Have won more scholarships than Chinese
University may increase number of scholarships
Oxford: The Oxford University considers Indian students among the best in the world and would like more of them joining its campus, Chancellor Chris Patten has said.
The university, which produced the likes of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia, has presently 257 Indian students on roll. But it is one-third the number of students from China.
“We want more Indian students because we want the best in the world to come to Oxford,” Mr. Patten said. Most of the Indian students are in the Said Business School.
“About a quarter of the students are doing MBAs...but I would like to see more in social sciences and humanities, doing both under-graduate and post-graduate work,” he said.
Though Indians are less in number, they have won more scholarships than the Chinese.
Last year, they won 54 different scholarships, including the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, according to an Oxford journal. “They [Indians] probably got more than China,” the Chancellor said.
He said the number of scholarships may go up as the university improves its financial position.
“I hope as we develop our endowments we will be able to offer many more [scholarships] to post-graduate students in the next few years,” Mr. Patten said. The university has developed a Master’s programme in South Asian studies.
For a one-year MBA programme, it could cost as much as Rs. 40 lakh, including the cost of tuition fee, boarding and lodging and the out-of-pocket expenses.
“It is a different world out here...We are gaining immensely,” said Karandeep Singh Vohra, pursuing MBA at the Said Business School.

IIM-A maps global pathway
The institute is sure to figure in the top bracket on the FT MBA global rank list for B-schools after its executive programme completes three years in 2009.
In late 2007, when the Financial Times (FT) released its annual ranking of the best business schools in the world, there was an uproar in Indian B-school circles.
While the Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad's one-year Post Graduate Programme for executives made it to the 20th position in the FT Global MBA 2008 ranking list, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A's) Post Graduate Programme in Management for Executives (PGPX) was not included.
Next year, IIM-A could use the same ranking to gain a global footprint.
Having entered its third year, the PGPX will now be eligible to be listed for the FT MBA rankings.
The FT MBA ranking is considered one of the most prestigious B-school ratings in the world and uses over 20 parameters to determine the rankings. The criteria include weighted salary, placement success rank, alumni recommendation rank, international mobility rank, doctoral rank and research facilities.
To be eligible to participate, a business school must be internationally accredited by a body such as the AACSB, Amba or EQUIS; it must have a full-time MBA programme operational for at least five years; and its first class must have graduated at least three years ago.
When PGPX did not find a place in the FT MBA list, institute director Samir Barua had written an e-mail to all alumni members.
In the email, he said: "If the same criteria were to continue for inclusion in the list for ranking MBA programmes, the PGPX would qualify only in 2010. Till then, no programme of IIMA would qualify for ranking of MBA programmes by the FT.
For the PGP, the Institute has been informed by the FT that the programme qualifies for inclusion in the list of programmes for ranking as Masters Programme in Management. If the institute decides to participate in this (Masters Programme in Management) ranking by the FT, then the PGP will be included under this category."
The institute has just bagged the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation, the international system of quality assessment, improvement and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business formed by the European Foundation for Management Development (EMFD), becoming the first B-school in the country to have obtained the same.
"Since we are completing three years of the PGPX programme, we will be eligible for the FT-MBA global rankings. Once listed, we are confident of placing the programme on a global map," said Arvind Sahay, chairperson, PGPX, IIM-A.
IIM-A had also taken up internet marketing initiatives considering that for most executives across the world, the web would be the first information access point. It had also designed separate brochures for Indian and overseas students.

An all-girl IIT will face faculty issue
The Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry's proposal to set up an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) exclusively for girls has intrigued the faculty and management of existing IITs.
However, sources in the Planning Commission say they have not received any formal communication from the HRD Ministry to allocate finances for the an all-girl IIT. "The project could be at the concept level. We have not received any communication from the HRD ministry so far on this subject," said a Planning Commission member on condition of anonymity.
HRD minister Arjun Singh recently indicated his consent for a girls-only IIT named after Indira Gandhi, with support from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the project. The move is in sync with President Pratibha Patil's suggestion to the government on March 11 to set up an IIT exclusively for girls. She had also suggested that the all-girls IIT be built in Amravati (Maharashtra), her former Lok Sabha constituency.
Patil's proposal in March suggested that the all-girls IIT offer only 'integrated' courses so that students immediately after school can join the institute and pass out with post-graduate degrees after five years. Currently, the existing seven IITs have some five-year integrated courses on offer, but Patil wanted to make them mandatory across all streams.

IIMA now EQUIS Accredited
The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), has been
accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), the
leading international accreditation body for International business
schools. The EQUIS accreditation has ensured IIMA’s place as the
first and the only business school in India to obtain international
accreditation. IIMA becomes one among the 113 EQUIS-recognized
schools in the world, from 33 countries to have attained international
accreditation, making it a truly Global Business Management School.
EQUIS is the leading international system of Quality Assessment,
Quality Improvement and Accreditation of Higher Education
Institutions in management administration. The EQUIS Scheme has
been designed with special focus on all the activities of business
schools that aim to meet international standards of quality. The
fundamental objective of EQUIS is to raise the quality of management
education worldwide.
While accrediting management schools, EQUIS looks for balance
between high academic quality and the professional relevance
provided by close interaction with the corporate world. A strong
interface with the world of business is therefore, as much a
requirement as a strong research potential. Its scope covers all
programmes offered by an Institution, from the first degree to the
PhD, including non-degree programmes.

been designed with special focus on all the activities of business
schools that aim to meet international standards of quality. The
fundamental objective of EQUIS is to raise the quality of management
education worldwide.
While accrediting management schools, EQUIS looks for balance
between high academic quality and the professional relevance
provided by close interaction with the corporate world. A strong
interface with the world of business is therefore, as much a
requirement as a strong research potential. Its scope covers all
programmes offered by an Institution, from the first degree to the
PhD, including non-degree programmes.
